Web pages are not allowed to list your extensions. They can indirectly surmise you have certain extensions based on how your requests differ from expectations. For example, if they have advertisements, but your browser never actually makes any requests to load the images, CSS, JS or HTML for the advertisements, they can deduce you have an ad-blocker. That’s a datapoint they now have to ID you: “has an ad-blocker”

Now let’s say they have an ad they know AdBlockPlus allows, but uBlock Origin doesn’t. They see your browser doesn’t load that ad. Another datapoint: “Not using AdBlockPlus”.

Based on what requests go back and forth between your browser and their servers, they map out a unique fingerprint.

Now you visit another site, and lo and behold, all the same quirks are found. Tada, they now say “hm, probably the same browser,” and start personalizing content. Site use an ad network, so it’s the common denominator, not the sites you visit. The ad networks do the between-sites tracking.

also, VPN does diddly squat when you login to some service like google, facebook, xitter, amazon, outlook, reddit, etc. You logged in as you. They don’t give a shit you’re logging in from another IP. And if the sites are working with the same ad network, if you’ve ever logged in from your real IP even once, they they just add another datapoint about you: “Sometimes uses a VPN” and that gets tucked away in your permanent record.

nothing you do online is private. I’m not saying “give up” but it’s pretty bleak and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon.

ftfy

it’s almost like the internet has allowed all kinds of extremists that would otherwise be alone in their extremism find each other in an echo chamber where they’re all “obviously correct” and that any action they choose to take is warranted and approved by their extremist community. with 8+ billion people in the world, of course you can find 1000 online that agree with you.

And god fucking forbid that common sense be in the language. Who the fuck needs a language with common sense, amirite?

only in theory. in reality, only one person would ever buy it then re-release the source code for free-as-in-beer. unless you’re talking about something other than GPL2/3.

nah, it’s dns.

Give it to the dev, and explain the situation. Let them know it seems too big/complex of a PR, but you’re willing to make additional changes, or break up PR to make it more palatable for merging. It’s in the dev’s hands after that.

I don’t think you should release your own fork without at least trying to work with the original project.

Make sure all your commits have detailed commit messages so that the dev can follow what you were doing (upgrading deps, refactor because xyz, etc.) Don’t just record what was changed, explain why it was changed.

anyway that’s what I would do.

Most 3D printers are nothing like traditional paper printers and don’t need drivers, but require a program called a slicer to create the GCode that your 3D printer understands. Then the GCode file is transferred to the printer either via an SDcard or WiFi for printing.

There are several slicers (OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer ) that work reliably on linux. Please binge TeachingTech’s YouTube channel to get a better understanding of what 3D printing entails.

but how will i type ‘IDKFA IDDQD IDSPIDSPOP and IDNOCLIP’ on the Deck with no keyboard?!

If only there were a special path like, oh I don’t know, /dev for device handles.

ELI5?

AHEM…taps community name

I think I speak for everyone when I say

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

You need to get your ISP to help troubleshoot the issue with your router. If the Steam Deck works fine on other networks that’s a very strong sign that it’s not the Deck that’s the issue.

Most public libraries have WiFi or computers that you can use in a pinch, leverage those as much as possible. You are paying for those services via taxes, they are yours.

BOFH: hooked up the mains to the doorknob and asked a luser to bring their laptop over for personal attention and repair.
